1 The Aggregate and Distributional Effects of Financial Globalization: Evidence from Macro and Sectoral Data Davide Furceri, Prakash Loungani and Jonathan D. Ostry International Monetary Fund IMF Annual Research Conference, Washington DC, November, 7
2 Motivation: Two Puzzles Financial globalization works well in theory, not so well in practice Theory predicts output (efficiency) gains from both trade and financial globalization, but gains from latter have proven difficult to demonstrate. o Gopinath (October 7): There is now a new consensus that capital account liberalizations are a mixed blessing o Krugman (May 7): financial globalization hasn t been the force for good that trade has been o Martin Wolf (): the gains [of financial globalization] have been questionable and the costs of crises enormous. o Arteta, Eichengreen and Wyplosz (): evidence of a positive association between capital account liberalization and growth is decidedly fragile. Enormous literature on impact of trade on inequality, while financial globalization gets a free pass. Financial globalization can affect inequality in theory; shouldn t we look at whether it does so in practice?
3 Contributions We search for output effects: giving theory a chance Use both de jure and de facto measures of financial globalization o Large changes in de jure measures = policy changes o Supplement with information on capital flows (de facto measure) Use sectoral as well as aggregate data, since causal effects hard to establish in macro data o Use of country-time fixed effects allows for cleaner identification of effects of financial globalization o Better identification of channels through which effects of financial globalization operate Trace out evolution of output in aftermath of major financial globalization episodes rather than look for permanent growth effects (Henry 7). We don t turn a blind eye to distributional effects: taking the theory seriously Impact on Gini coefficient (aggregate data) and labor shares (aggregate and sectoral data) Bottom-line: Somewhat stronger evidence of output effects than in previous work, but also strong distributional effects.
4 Identification of policy-driven globalization episodes Policy restrictions on cross-border transactions are reported in the IMF s Annual Report on Exchange Arrangements and Exchange Restrictions (AREAER) database. Information in AREAER is combined by Chinn and Ito to construct an index of capital account restrictions. Examining behavior of output (or inequality) before and after removal of major policy restrictions requires information on when restrictions were lifted; difficult to do for large sample of countries. We infer timing of major policy changes by looking at large changes in the Chinn-Ito index (Kaopen) o Assume liberalization takes place when, for a given country at a given time, the annual change in the Kaopen indicator exceeds by two standard deviations the average annual change over all observations. This criterion identifies episodes (over 97) the majority occurring in the early 9s (when inequality started to increase). Examples: several EU countries in the early 99s; India and Brazil in the mid- and late 99s.
5 Empirical strategy macro level data Baseline: ll ll gg iiii = aa ii + γγ tt + δδ kk DD ii,tt kk + θθ kk XX ii,tt kk + εε iiii jj= kk= Role of country-specific factors: ll ll ll gg iiii = aa ii + γγ tt + θθ jj XX ii,tt jj + δδ jj DD ii,tt jj GG(zz iiii ) + δδ jj + DD ii,tt jj ( GG(zz iiii )) + εε iiii jj= jj= jj= g = change in log output (Gini); D = liberalization episode; X = baseline: current and lagged reforms in trade, current account, product and labor market; robustness checks: baseline + growth expectations + other controls. G= smooth transition function (G = (extremely) low financial liberalization/inclusion, crises). Estimates based on OLS and IV (liberalization in trading partners and initial degree of openness) for 9 countries for the period 97. 5
6 6 Empirical strategy sectoral level data ll gg jjjjjj = aa iiii + γγ iiii + ρρ jjjj + δδ kk SS jj DD ii,tt kk + εε jjjjjj kk= i (country); j(sector); t (time). g = change in log output (labor share of income); D = liberalization episode; S = external financial dependence (EFD); natural-layoff rate (NL); EOS between capital and labor. Theoretical predictions: (i) output (labor share) effects are larger for industries with higher EFD demand for external funds; (ii) labor share effects are larger for industries with higher NL bargaining power; (iii) labor share effects are larger for industries with EOS> cost of capital. Estimates based on OLS using sectoral data for AEs, 5 industries, 975.

Black lines denote baseline effects.
17 Key findings On average, capital account liberalization has led limited output gains & significant increases in inequality, but effects are heterogenous across countries and sectors. In aggregate data: o Liberalization increases output in countries with high financial depth. o Distributional effects are more pronounced in countries with low financial depth and low inclusion, and when liberalization is followed by a financial crisis. In sectoral data: o Stronger evidence of output effects. o Distribution impacts remain strong liberalization reduces labor share of income and effect is larger for industries with: o higher external financial dependence; o higher natural propensity to use layoffs to adjust to idiosyncratic shocks; o higher elasticity of substitution between capital and labor. 7
18 Concluding remarks: policy implications Discussions on saving globalization should distinguish between trade & financial globalization. Financial globalization presents a more difficult efficiency-equity tradeoff than does trade o Output benefits more difficult to establish than with trade; o Distributional considerations as important as in the case of trade. Policies to improve efficiency-equity tradeoff posed by financial globalization: Sequencing matters: o reforms aimed at fostering domestic financial liberalization and depth; o policies to broaden access to finance (financial inclusion). Macroprudential & capital account policies to mitigate risk of post-liberalization crisis. 8
